A very enjoyable competition. Colin`s lowest score ever and he still wins, DOH !
I hope we run this style of comp again, it sounded really complicated before we got into the swing. All we need now is to handicap the winners for the next round . Laughing

Superb competition. When I first heard the rules wasn't sure what was going on but it made for a really good shoot. Really put the pressure on if you missed.

Thanks to everyone who set this up and to Julia and Mikky for the tin of chocolates. Eating them now with a cuppa Laughing

That was a really enjoyable shoot today, and a bonus as I wasn't expecting a comp to be on.

I used to think getting a zero was bad, it does not compare with the pressure on a fifth shot, knowing that a miss will drop 3.

My short game was OK with some good puts, I lost my swing on some long shots, any tips there Colin?

I did think it was important for the winner to get a round in at the 19th but Colin just followed through on the kiss, took the booty and was gone.

We really should do this again soon....

Well done to everyone who helped set it up.

A good shoot, great fun.
Why is it targets move about when I want to hit them, but stay still for every one else?

well done to the setter uppers!
